Education Quality Threatened By State Tax Dollars Fight
North Carolina education officials warn that competition for state tax funds between higher education and K-12 programs is shrinking the share for public schools. State superintendent Craig Phillips says only about half the output may once have gone to K through 12 and that the percentage has declined. House Speaker Carl Stewart notes rising total spending but a falling share for public schools as appropriations near 936 million dollars next fiscal year.

North Carolina Food Tax Repeal Push By Sen Smith
Senate Finance Committee considers 10 bills to ease burden on low income groups and raise taxes on higher earners. One measure would repeal the 3 percent state food tax with local adds, while another would keep the tax but offer a $14 per person income tax credit. County officials warn repeal shifts burden to property owners.
